Native American (Ute) woman stands near a pile of wooden tepee poles at Garden of the Gods, El Paso County, Colorado. The woman wears a dress, a wide belt from which a round pennant hangs, and a fringed shawl. Other tepee supplies including the rolled canvas stand near a group of bushes. Men, some of whom wear hats, stand and sit on a rock formation in the distance. They are probably in Colorado Springs for the Shan Kive (Colorado Springs Carnival).
